This works great!

Just a note on your warning above that may confuse people:

You can still keep the Laravel Auth and WP Auth separate (even have separate register/login forms for each). Just differentiate them via namespacing:
use App\Models\User as LaravelUser;
use Corcel\Model\User as WPUser;

Register form for WP is for authors/moderators etc
Register form for Laravel is for admins etc

Can we get this merged 👍

@brittainmedia sounds good then! actually, I still have to add some meta fields when the user is created. WP adds some meta for each user, with roles, etc. I still have to implement that. if you want to, you're welcome!

these are the fields I said:

In all honesty I am not sure how to achieve adding meta when creating a new user.

Would this not be down to whomever creates the user to save the meta?

$user = new User;
$user->user_login = 'testlogin';
$user->user_pass = 'testpassword';
$user->user_email = 'testemail';
$user->save();

$user->saveMeta('wp_capabilities', serialize(['administrator' => true]));

@brittainmedia yep, that's the point, using saveMeta(). we only have to figure out how to reproduce the correct values, and the logic behind them. not something complicated 😎

Okay...

There doesn't seem to be an easy way to give explicit examples for what each meta value should be.

Most of the meta fields have filters associated with the values.
Exceptions are:
'ID', 'rich_editing', 'syntax_highlighting', 'comment_shortcuts', 'admin_color', 'use_ssl', 'user_registered', and 'role'.

Additionally the options available for each are dynamic and based on various other database values within wp_options.
